New Nappy Cake

little_miss_moneysaver_3

I didn't buy any today, but saw some in Wilkos £3 for 3 white ones. Did see some in Asda which were in packs of white, pink and blue I think 3 for £3.50. But none of them had sizes on. I guess you must be able to get them cheaper! Might try and get to the Sainsburys tomorrow see if I can find those cheap ones

Has anybody suceeded with making a 'diaper baby' ???
Spent the whole of last night playing and could not get the head to fit securely on the shoulders.
I was hoping to take a blue and pink one to my show on Thursday, but am beginning to think it's a bad idea .... especially as I haven't a clue what to put it in (ie. box etc), don't really want the extra expense of using a basket.

I buy my muslins from asda. The plain white ones are £3 but the pink and blue packs are £3.50, you get 3 in a pack. Tesco were doing 6 pack of white muslins BOGOF for £4.91 so you were getting 12 for that price. Don't know if this offer is still on though as that was a few weeks ago.

Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,

Was wondering if you could help,ive only ever done pink or blue nappy cakes and ive been asked for my first unisex so was wondering what colour ribbons you all favour on your unisex cakes,is brown to grown up to use do you think? Or should i stick with lemon?

Thanks, Emma xx

Hi Emma83, Don't know about everyone else but, I think pale yellows and creams are nice but I have to say they don't sell very well!
I tend to get asked for "neutral" colours. Creams / coffee / beigy colours look lovely. Brown is nice but I think a bit heavy - nice if you do it in small check gingham. (Mind you, I think that works more for a boy)
What about doing a colourful one instead. Will post a pic of one I did a while ago.

Emma - have made a few of these - went down really well but can't get the toys now. Am on the lookout for something similar. (From Asda - has anyone seen any? they made funny sounds when dropped!)

Emma83

Moonpenny,your cake is lovely i wouldnt even of thought about brighter colours i think they work so well,thanks so much for your help and posting a picture would you mind if i went for something along those lines?
Shame you cant get the toys anymore hes lovely,isnt that always the way tho when you find something you like they stop doing them :mad:.

Thanks again,Emma xx

Emma, I don't mind at all - I would be flattered!

Would love to get some more of the giraffes but with the neck being so long it made the cake even taller. LOL
